Status: NEW

(Directory :: LDAP XPCOM SDK, defect)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

clean up nsILDAPService, implement LDAP connection cache

some items:

1) fix the nsILDAPService interface (notes to follow)
2) rename nsILDAPServer to be some sort nsILDAPConnectionRequest or something
3) rewrite existing code (autoconfig, ldap autocomplete, addressbook, ldap 
replication, maybe more) to use it.
4) handle server drops and user drops (going offline manually)

unknown issues:

1) what's the migration code in #79777 for?

we might need this for LDAP over SSL, for now, it sits out in mozilla 1.0 land.

I'll follow up with some notes from a discussion I had with dmose and rdayal, 
and include how this affects LDAP over SSL and LDAP Replication.

moving to 1.01 for now.

note, I don't plan on being the one to implement this, but I'll hold the 
tracker bug for cleaning up the interface for now.

The patch in 79777 was for migrating LDAP prefs from 4.x format to 6.x format 
and for hooking up the preferences with nsLDAPService. The migration code has 
landed in 0.9.2.

over to dmose, he'll be the one to re-design the interface and probably do the
implementation.

Assigning bugs that I'm not actively working on back to nobody; use SearchForThis as a search term if you want to delete all related bugmail at once.
